I'm a laugher and a lover of comedy.
Would it be nice to win a film award one day? Yes. But the critics are going to have to wait till I'm ready. Right now, my gift is making big movies that audiences want to see.
I never dreamed I would be producing the Oscars. That was a huge deal for me.
I love movie directors. I don't care who it is.
I love 'Guitar Hero,' and I think it's a part of pop culture.
Movies are the biggest export in the world, the biggest American export. It influences people all over the world. Music and movies. That's what's exciting about what we do, the fact that it's so global. It brings people together. People don't have to understand the language to laugh at actors. They're going to laugh even though they don't understand what they're saying. Cause they're seeing it.
I look for stuff that I'm passionate about.
I hate the iPhone. I love the BlackBerry - BlackBerry wins in my opinion. The iPhone is a toy.
I got a Super 8 camera when I was eight years old, and I just wanted to tell stories - I love telling stories.
Less money sometimes allows you to be more creative.
I learn from every movie I do because on every movie I have a different experience.
I’m a hypochondriac. Before I go all the way, I send the girl to the doctor and check them for everything. My doctor has a test to tell if you’re going to catch something in the future even.
When I do short films, I try to do something completely out of my comfort zone, out of my element.
They don't really like change. But I think we'll be able to settle their concerns pretty quickly.
